It adds nothing to the conversation

Lmao what a useless comment right here

I really want you to understand that no one in this thread is out to get you

IDK dude, I don’t remember the sex thing being as played up as you’re making it seem. Might be time for a re-read

What?

I’m not asking you to feel shame, just explaining why I thought your comment was deserving of a downvote. It wasn’t intended to be personal, just informational.

I’ll be honest, I downvoted you, but because of the incredibly condescending tone, and for arguing against a point that literally no one has brought up in this post. I’m sorry you’ve run into dumbasses elsewhere that have wrongly tried to claim Steam isn’t a monopoly, but complaining about them and arguing against them in a post that they haven’t shown up in isn’t productive.

Yeah I don’t think anyone can form a good faith argument claiming Steam doesn’t have a monopoly.

The thing is, all a competitor has to do to take away Steam’s monopoly is to make a product as good or better than Steam

Mmm yes, tea and crumpets, long love the empire, God save the king ol chap

Glad I could brighten your day in these dark times

You’re gonna have to explain that one too

Brb, going out to acquire a ballistic missile submarine

Nah what’s actually lazy is people sitting in positions of privilege with the power to help, but instead all they do is sling mud and beat people down. It’s hard enough for Americans to fight back as it is. Adding your inflammatory bullshit to the pile is just making it worse.

No, please explain exactly what you mean by deterrence, educate me

what would the chances be that the US has control over of Russia-based bot net?

I would be highly surprised if we didn’t. I’d be surprised if any nation with any kind of serious cyber presence didn’t have resources like that in adversarial spaces.

What do you mean by “changing the layout”, going from QWERTY to Dvorak, or something like switching between English and Chinese glyphs? Both are possible at least in software. Technically you can move around/replace keycaps to match your layout too, but obviously that would be super inconvenient to do regularly

(again, apparently different meaning in Ohio)

Not to pile on, but uh… I can assure you, as a life long Ohio native, “fiscal year” means the same thing here as it does everywhere else

So, they’re trying to spin it as an act of self defense, that the ICE agent feared for his life because the vehicle was being used as a weapon?

What a fat fucking load of bullshit.

Fellas, if you see a car coming at you, wouldn’t training (and your instincts) compel you to get the fuck out the way, not start opening fire as if you’re a poacher being charged by a rhino?

They don’t add milk or milk substitute to blizzards. Blizzards are not shakes.

No might about it, in the US, definitionally, a milkshake is ice cream blended with milk at minimum. It can optionally have mixins or syrups blended in as well, but if there’s no milk (or milk alternative)*, it ain’t a milkshake
